Module Description

ARCTIC (Automatic Regional Cortical ThICkness) is an end-to-end application developped at UNC-Chapel Hill allowing individual analysis of cortical thickness. This cross-platform tool can be run within Slicer3 as an external module, or directly as a command line.

Usage

Use Cases, Examples

This module is especially appropriate when one wants to perform individual regional cortical thickness analysis. ARCTIC allows efficient QC via precomputed 3D-Slicer scenes.

Tutorials

Quick Tour of Features and Use

A list panels in the interface, their features, what they mean, and how to use them. For instance:

  • Input 1: Raw Images
    • T1-weighted image: set input T1 image
    • T2-weighted image: set input T2 image, if available
    • PD-weighted image: set input PD image, if available
    • Tissue segmentation atlas directory: set directory containing gray-scale atlas to perform the tissue segmentation
    • Segmentation atlas type (T1 or T2, default: T1): set atlas type
  • Input 2: Segmented Images
    • Tissue segmentation image: set tissue segmentation label image
    • White matter label (default: 1): set tissue segmentation white matter label
    • Gray matter label (default: 2): set tissue segmentation gray matter label
    • CSF label (default: 3): set tissue segmentation CSF label
    • Raw image: set its related raw image (needed to perform the lobar analysis, i.e to perform the atlas orientation)
  • Output:
    • Cortical thickness on white matter boundary: set output image which represents cortical thickness measurement on the white matter boundary
    • Cortical thickness on gray matter boundary: set output image which represents cortical thickness measurement on the gray matter boundary
    • Cortical thickness results directory: set output directory to save cortical thickness measurements
    • ID number: set ID number to set prefix of output images
  • Parcellation:: parameters need to be set to perform a lobar analysis
    • Parcellation already defined for the subject
      • Case parcellation image: set the parcellation image defined in the case space coordinate
    • Parcellation needs to be defined: atlas is registered to the case
      • Atlas parcellation image: set the atlas parcellation image
